Now that I got your attention – no, this bitch isn’t about penis.
As a vegetarian, why when I go somewhere to eat and have to ask for “NO MEAT” (probabally the most expensive part of the meal) do I still pay the full price?
I am increasing your margin on that sale by atleast 100% or more and you still charge the same thing.
One fast food restaurant even had the gall to charge me full price for a “large mac”(less the meat) then add extra because I requested extra tomatoes! I was fucking lost for words!?
It is to the point now that I am starting to ask for the “meat on the side” and taking it home for my pooch or for the neighbour’s pooch. It’s insane.
And don’t tell me its because you “don’t have a button on the register for that”…. its not 1922 and it’s a multicultural city, there are lots of us veggies around. Dirty cheap bastards. —FFS, Tired Of Paying For Meat

Go graze on the North 40. Nobody is stampeding your piebald ass into a restaurant, now are they?
this bitch smells weird, why would you order a large mac with no meat? big mac? macaroni and cheese? good luck with whatever
Halifax? Multicultural? lol. Well there have been recent strides to that effect, but in reality this city is 97% white bread. And it acts like it too.
If Halifax just smelled of white bread instead, I wouldn’t be complaining. And hey, white bread is meat free!
“Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food. The body, these waterheads imagine, is a temple that should not be polluted by animal protein. It’s healthier, they insist, though every vegetarian waiter I’ve worked with is brought down by any rumor of a cold.
Oh, I’ll accomodate them, I’ll rummage around for something to feed them, for a ‘vegetarian plate’, if called on to do so. Fourteen dollars for a few slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini suits my food cost fine.”
-Anthony Bourdain
So…if you ask for no onions, you should receive a discount based on a percentage of the missing ingredient? Next time order off the veggie menu.
Speaking of meat…Has anyone tried Boneheads?I hear it’s good barbeque?
That is undeniable.
The Mac and cheese is amazing.
As is proof in the reviews section here:
http://www.thecoast.ca/halifax/boneheads-b…
Excellent. It’s not often I have to ask for an Ivan bag because I couldn’t finish the meal.
Lol really? A Big Mac with no meat? A fuckin lettuce and special sauce sandwich on a flimsy bun?
You’re clearly a terrorist.
it’s essentially a salad burger since the sauce is just thousand island dressing…
I heard the ribs are fantastic?
Good luck there OB … I tried the veggie diet & got tired of having to graze constantly & still being hungry ( & please don’t bother telling me to eat my fuckin’ tofu …
If I’m gonna have to eat a meat replacement to be full , I might as well eat meat !
But the next time you go to buy food, whether its processed, canned, sauces, resturant foods , check & see how much of it has wheat in it ! ! ! !
THat stuffs in almost EVERYTHING !
Glutten free is a way harder dietary disapline in our society than veggie !
NO All beef patties
Special Sauce
Lettuce
Cheese
Pickles
Onions on a really gross bun ….
I mean a seasome seed bun !
You know …after thinkin’ about that for a moment ,
I am no longer hungry. With or without the ‘meat’ (is that stuff really meat ????)
So when I order a meal that has meat and veggies and I want to hold the veggies, should I expect a discount?
“Eating meat is instinctive. Choosing not to do so requires intelligent thought.” – said someone or another at some time or other.
breathing is instinctive…
does not breathing require INTELLIGENT thought?
ie. not all purposeful thoughts are automatically intelligent.

OP, you have the brain of a nit. There are all kinds of veggie friendly restaurants and takeouts in this town, including the Subways that seem to be every four blocks in this burg. Make your stupid ass lettuce/1000 islands/tomatoes/pickles/cheese on a sesame seed bun Big Fake at home – those poor Mickey McDee slaves deserve a break today – from twits like you.
back atcha sister-bitcher
SHITD & Tim, my thoughts exactly. Zed, my thoughts exactly, times four.
Nurse, we have to smarten up the people of the world (or at least here). Do you sing?
I can conclude then, that the ribs at Boneheads are shit?
Where in this town can a girl buy a cold beer and a piece of meat, cooked perfectly med.rare?
Tim, I can’t carry a tune in a bucket lol
Boru, medium rare….mmmmm <3!!
Then I’ll sing for you.
NurseHezz Any restaurant or pub suggestions?
Boru, the Mic Mac restaurant in Dartmouth has great food at a good price! Very busy spot, but worth the wait. 🙂
Tim, what melody would you choose to serenade me with? 🙂
Boru, We’ve been to Boneheads about 6-7 times and enjoyed it each time. I’ve tried many items from their menu and everything is tasty, their mac and cheese, ribs and dirty rice are delicious. A great place to get a steak (casual dining) is the Mic Mac Tavern on the Waverley Rd. Cooked just how you ask for it.
Humans aren’t really physically designed to eat meat in any great quantity. Our teeth are evolved are for grinding nuts and tubers. Our ability to chew meat comes with tenderizing through slight decomposition (comes from our scavenging past where we would battle the likes of hyenas for carcass meat). The mastery of fire also enables our omnivorous chompers to bite through tendon.
Our digestive system struggles with breaking down meat as well. It does not move well through our colon without roughage and often further decays in the bowel causing irritation.
That said, the fat and food energy derived from meat is a driving factor in the fast development of the human brain in evolutionary terms. So, if it wasn’t for my ancestors eating outside the box I wouldn’t be writing this just sitting under a tree somewhere munching on walnuts.
Troodon I would personally like to thank your ancestors for 1000’s
of years of eating meat. 🙂 😛
Nurse, anything you like, I have no shame on stage. LOL.
Vegetarians poop more.
According to all my vegetarian friends.
Because, for some reason, my friends like to discuss their bowel habits with me.
I had this co-worker once, who I worked quite closely with, who used to tell me when he’d go take a dump. Probably because he blurted it out once and I kept asking him ‘how it was’ when he’d come back.
I miss that fucker.

Haha! Great song titles! Although singing a tune about my phobias shows about as much compassion as me bathing your boo-boos with cyanide lol
I must have angered some white people with my white bread comment, lol, Woah…
(PS I live just down the street from the MicMac, and their steak breakfast is not to be missed). And I like Bonheads too! Pricey, but yummy nonetheless
Oh come now, Nurse. You aren’t going to tell me that you guys don’t keep a special tube of “Extra-Hurty” antibiotic onguent for rude and obstreperous patients. Calms ’em right down , it does. >; )
Do you really have access to cyanide?
You can bathe my boo-boos with cyanide any day, Nurse >;D
I like penis! Try it sometime!
Ivan, we have big needles to take the boisterous patients down a few pegs…hehe
Zed, the cyanide was just an example, but we have access to so many other lethal concoctions : )
..Like rat poison or Warfarin to keep folks from clotting among other uses.
“Excellent. It’s not often I have to ask for an Ivan bag because I couldn’t finish the meal.”
IT’S TRUE! Mufucka tried pulling some shit on me at the last summit! Something about letting him sample my grape leaves because he’s an elder or some shit. This is Chebucto/Jipuktuk, not Sparta!
“Then I’ll sing for you.”
*imagines BT singing, “I gave my nurse a chicken, it had no bones.”*
“I like penis! Try it sometime!”
Fuck off. We don’t like AIDS.
Oh and throw some Buffy Ste. Marie on that mix-tape for the Hezz!
I’m a big Buffy Ste. Marie fan.
I’m a fan of her sister Sue.
Nurse Hezz, you’ll definitely appreciate this, even if you don’t view “karma” as the New Age equivalent of Edward Woodward’s T.V. character “The Equalizer”
I was tidying the kitchen last night when a spider, of Lovecraftian dimension, came out of the drain. At that moment, SOBova came home from work, just in time to hear my loud girly scream. >: (
Hahaha! Awww Ivan… You aren’t scared of a little spidey are you?? Bok bok bok! : P
Just for that, smartass >; ) Prepare to be creeped out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS6t56U9tBg
Aw c’mon! That was COMPLETELY unnecessary, Uncle Ivan!
*shakes head*
HAY – you weren’t standing in my kitchen yesterday armed with nothing but a whisk when Shelob came out of my sink with venom dripping from her fangs and malice glinting in her 8 soulless eyes. I fully expected to come out this morning and find the Countess entombed in a web.
*shakes and sobs in a tremor of PTSD induced terror*
Ivan SOBova was returning home from a hard days work.No doubt, you were cleaning with just an apron on,in preparation for SOBova’s return. eheh 🙂
Not an apron. Chaps …and spurs >; )
@troodon formosus You are an idiot if you think that. Way to spew vegan propaganda.
@coasting by: No actually, you’re an idiot. Humans didn’t originally evolve to eat meat at all, or even any dairy products after infancy. To add to Troodons accurate description; Our long intestine isn’t designed to handle meat, and the meat often ends up decaying and rotting in our bowels because we just can’t shit it out fast enough. Actual carnivores have a much shorter digestive tract to avoid this problem, plus different bacteria that aids in breaking down meat. We evolved a large intestine to handle meat at a later date, genealogically speaking.
It’s not propaganda, it’s science. Go learn something, dumbass.
That should be ‘small intestine’ not ‘long intestine’ – Although it IS long
really long
Couldn’t agree more, I’m Irish and we never went out “hunting” potatoes.
Ivan, I’m not looking an you can’t make meeeee!!! : P
Heh heh heh – Curiosity will eventually get the better of you.
MWA HA HA HA HA
Not if I suspect there is a furry arachnid lurking in that link! Lol!
Nurse, get thou behind me. I shalt protect you while wearing my dented and rusted suit of armour.
AW Cool! I’m Bro Tim’s wingman. I’ve never been a wingman before. I rather like it. >: )
the most expensive part of the meal is the prep and production. And oftentimes you are asking them to make an entirely new batch of something already prepared. Not always but often.. depends on where you go. If it’s lunch? I can almost guarantee it’s been pre-made and they’re gonna have to make more to satisfy your order.
Source? I used to be a sous-chef.
And op.. why do i get the feeling that you’re asking for specifically a meat dish turned veggie? Like “yes I’d love that chicken kiev. Can you make it tofu kiev instead?”
Fuck op ain’t nobody got time for that! You ever been in a kitchen during production hours?
Plus most meat dishes are made with animal products anyway. In chinese cooking, even your veggie dishes often contain chicken stock. I mean.. it disturbs me how many vegetarians don’t know this stuff. I even knew a vegetarian once that ate jello which is basically boiled my little pony bones.
You need to start ordering at places that have distinctly vegetarian options and sticking to those options. Meat powers the bran. It’s a nutritional fact. Humans are omnivores and that’s the dietary slice we cater to. most restaurants have excellent vegetarian options so choose from those to ensure you’re not eating something you don’t want to eat.
quite frankly, having worked as a chef catering to weird orders like “can you make that kiev with tofu instead of chicken?”, your angst annoys me. You’re not paying for the food. You can make this food for a fraction of the price you pay in a restaurant. You’re PAYING FOR US WHO STAND FOR 12-16 HOURS MAKING THE FOOD.
That’s what you’re paying for. Just so you know.
